I have a question please , and it will be appreciated so much if you can help me

- I am Egyptian , resident in Japan ( this is my 2nd Year ) , My wife is Romanian and i would like to apply for Spouse visa for her or family Visa for her ( I do not know which is better )

- Can anyone advise what is the requirements that i need to apply for her visa , Originally she do not need Visa for 3 months , but i would like her to stay more than 3 months , like at least 6 months

- She as Romanian , she suppose to come to Japan in Early March , do you think i have enough time to apply for her visa , or can i apply for her and wait the result even after she come to Japan ?

- In case the spouse visa is rejected , and she spent 3 months in Japan , i know she have to leave Japan before 3 months ended , can she go to Korea for example as . its very near , just for one or two days , then she back again to Japan ?

It will be highly appreciated if anyone can help me with more information and Details

It is spouse of a Japanese national - did you look at the spouse visa? If your wife is not Japanese, what are you thinking - does not apply. Married couples get visas when neither is Japanese - no!

If you're permanent resident, your wife should apply for spouse visa. Otherwise, it's a dependent visa.

Since your wife is scheduled to arrive in Japan, presumably visa-free, in March, the simplest thing to do would be for her to apply for a change of status from "Temporary Visitor" to "Dependent" at an immigration office in Japan after she arrives.

OK, so I assume that you are a resident in Japan currently on a 3-year resident status (probably an employer-sponsored work resident status?), so you are not a gpermanent residenth of Japan.

If that is the case, your wife is eligible to apply for gdependenth visa, under which she can enter Japan and stay with you.

But as the above poster said, if Romanian nationals can just enter Japan with the passport, then she can simply come visit (upon entry she gets gtemporary visitorh stamp in it, with the date until when she can stay in Japan), and then you can make an Application for Change of Resident Status (from gtemporary visitorh to gdependenth) while she stays in Japan.
The nature of documents you need to do that would be: her ID document (passport), papers certifying the marriage, and papers certifying that you make enough money to support the two of you. Probably you need to get your tax certificate to show your income and taxes paid.

Are you on those Highly Skilled Foreign Professional status ?

As said, your wife can apply for Dependent Visa (COE ways) and
trying to make application from Temporary to Dependent can be tricky and hard.
The immigration office are very strict on change of status application, note that this procedure is not normally done, only case by case, up to immigration office.

Do understand that Dependent Visa (COE + Visa) and Change of Status application are two different process.

In case of your wife want to come to Japan on visa waiver, and do a visa run to Korea (that what they call it) after her 90 days is up, it is possible BUT be prepare to be question at the airport by immigration officer.
Many people have done visa run and have no problem but some do encounter problems and denied entry.

Dear All Friends
First of all I would like to thanks everyone who is doing his best to share information and trying to help , thanks really for everyone

I work for one of the biggest seafood company in Japan ( Export Manager )

My title in residence card ( Engineer & specialist in Humanities int' Service ) ,

My Salary is 300.000 JPY , after deduct the tax and Insurance is 250.000 JPY ,

My company pay my apartment rent , Electricity , water , all my travel expense and even mobile Bill , so 250.000 is Net money every month , I hope that this will looks enough to immigration office

As for any documents , I believe my company will help me such as Tax documents , Insurance Documents ,

Regarding my wife documents such as Birth Certificate , and our marriage certificate , I am Arabian as I explain , my Certificate is issued from Egypt and legalized from foreign affairs , I believe it will be needed to be translated into Japanese language , this step I can do in Egyptian embassy , as I am good friend to the Egyptian Ambassador

Do you think that with the above mentioned case , will be enough to apply for the immigration

Thanks again for everyone who is trying to help , and I am sorry that I always ask many questions

All document to be submitted to immigration for application process must be in Japanese or translated into Japanese.

No one can guarantee. You'll have to check with the immigration.
They are the one who decide.

You were given links where you can find the documents that are required when you submit your application.

Nobody can tell you in advance the result of your application.
